I am glad to see that I am not alone in this! I have survived the day so far, but I always find cooking dinner for my husband and watching him eat it traumatic. I have done a ten day fast before and hope to do the same again, hopefully even longer.
The alcohol thing is a big issue for me too. I eat healthily until I have a drink and then things just spiral out of control. I did not drink for 5 weeks, and felt fantastic because I was in control of what I ate.
